Integration with DevTools - File Overrides

Open felipecrs opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The optimal way to test my application is by using the File Overrides feature of the DevTools. That's because the application itself is actually just a component which gets integrated in another page.

This other page is difficult to boot up from zero, so I can use File Overrides to test my changes against a live/production webpage.

Describe the solution you'd like:

Integration with File Overrides, so that the file that I edit in VS Code is automatically synced to the browser, and the browser loads my local file instead of the file coming from the http server.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

To use File Overrides in the Browser DevTools instead, but then I lack the good editor experience of VS Code, and most importantly, lack debug tools with source maps integration that I could use to easily debug my multiple TypeScript files that gets compiled into a single one by using Rollup.

Additional context:

Excellent point, we've looked at some ways to mirror remote file systems and make them editable. Will add this to the backlog.
